Long may he reign. John Krasinski is enjoying the 'peak' of his Sexiest Man Alive title.

Long may he reign. John Krasinski is enjoying the 'peak' of his Sexiest Man Alive title.

A chance to make the reigningSexiest Man Alive blush? We couldn't help ourselves. Krasinski is six months into his reign as People's annual titleholder. Like many of the leading men before him — Chris Evans! John Legend! Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! — the actor sat for a photo shoot and interview, as is tradition. He gushed about his wife, Emily Blunt, and how he hoped the hunky honor would relieve him from household chores. I had to do a wellness check on Krasinski since his crowning in November. Why? Well, hisFountain of Youthcostar Eiza González laughed that he's "really suffering through" the press tour for their Apple TV+ film. "Every time people bring it up, he gets red!" she told Yahoo Entertainment when I broached the topic. View this post on Instagram A post shared by People Magazine (@people) It's clear why Krasinski was chosen. The magazine, which has been anointing Hollywood's leading men with the title since 1985, doesn't necessarily crown the biggest star of the year. Instead, their choices tend to skew more toward a person who has broad appeal to the masses. (Looking at you, People's Sexiest Man of 2017, Blake Shelton, and Paul Rudd, who was crowned in 2023.) In 2012, a People editortold USA Todaythe team looks at comments on their celebrity coverage throughout the year to guide their choice. Reporters also poll female stars about who should get the Sexiest Man Alive. Sure, looks are a factor, but it's more than that. Krasinski is well-liked by his peers. Both men and women enjoy his movies and TV shows. Fans want to date him, romantics ship his relationship with Blunt and people want to be his best friend. It's also worth mentioning that the magazine won't name someone who won't play ball (cough: Ryan Gosling) andthey want a starwho is comfortable "owning" the superlative. Enter the 45-year-old actor. Krasinski may not realize the universality of his appeal, though, or has nailed modesty (he's an actor, after all). He thought he was "being punked" when he found out he nabbed the honor. "That's not how I wake up, thinking, 'Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?' And yet it was the day you guys did it," he said in the cover story. Don't be fooled, though. This isn't the first time Krasinski embraced his sexier side in print. He setthe internet ablazewhen, in 2015,his Men's Healthphoto shoot showed he's more than just sweet Jim fromThe Office. "Funnyman John Krasinski Shows Off His New SEAL-Fit Body" was the headline of one article, which did just that as he posed in a black T-shirt. So it's no surprise then that Krasinski said he's actually "feeling pretty good" six months into his Sexiest Man Alive reign. "I mean, I'm at the peak now, right? So from here, it all goes downhill until I lose the crown," Krasinski said. "I'm going to enjoy this moment right now." González co-signs the title. "He's the best. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him before. I met [his wife] Emily [Blunt] before, who's incredibly funny. He's just such a warm human being that in the first 10 minutes of being around him, he makes you feel so welcomed," she said. Krasinski and González's banter is on full display inFountain of Youth. Director Guy Ritchie's family-friendly movie follows two estranged siblings (Krasinski and Natalie Portman) who reunite to go on a global heist to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. As their adventure takes them all around the world, González's character is hot on their heels to stop them from finding immortality. "When you have [John's] energy, it allows for really good banter," she explained, "and he comes up with great ideas." González also praised Krasinski's comedic skills, which he honed filmingThe Officefor nearly a decade. "When you're improvising so much, that allows and gives you a whole other quality as an actor," she said. "I was really happy to be around that energy." Fountain of Youthpremieres on Apple TV+ on May 23.

John Corbett Is Nearly Unrecognizable with a Beard at the "And Just Like That..." Premiere

Jamie McCarthy/Getty John Corbett arrived at theAnd Just Like That…season 3 premiere in New York City on Wednesday, May 21 But the actor appeared in an unrecognizable look — a gray scruffy beard! Corbett stars in the series' new season, which premieres on Thursday, May 29 John Corbettis rocking a whole new look. The 64-year-old actor arrived with his wife,Bo Derek, at the New York City premiere of the upcoming season ofAnd Just Like That…on Wednesday, May 21. But theMy Big Fat Greek Weddingstar was nearly unrecognizable when he appeared with a gray beard. Corbett has already been spotted for years with his gray and brown hair. He's also known for his clean-shaven look, making his Wednesday appearance a new look for him. TheSex and the Citystar styled his gray hair with an effortless, messy sweep-back. He donned an all black ensemble, with a black blazer, black trousers and a black Oxford shirt with an exaggerated collar that replicated the look of a popped collar. He also sported a pair of gradient brown aviator sunglasses and black leather boots. Jamie McCarthy/Getty His wife also stepped out in a sleek suit for the occasion. The model wore a white jacket and black wide-leg pants, both of which included stud detailing on the seams. Her look was completed with a black lace shirt, a black leather clutch and matching pointed-toe pumps. Corbett andSarah Jessica Parkerwerespotted on set togetherahead of the HBO Max series' return. In photos obtained by PEOPLE, the actors, who play Aidan Shaw and Carrie Bradshaw, respectively, were seen holding hands and smiling while filming on location in New York City's Queens borough last July. Kristina Bumphrey/Variety via Getty Fans can expect to see the new season pick up after Carrie and Aidan decided to take a break in their relationship. During the season 2 finale, he previously told her he could no longer divide his time between NYC and Virginia in the aftermath of his son Wyatt's serious accident, saying they needed to put their rekindled romance on hold for five years until his youngest son reached adulthood. As a result, Carrie tries to navigate life without him. Duringthe season 3 first look, Aidan sent Carrie a postcard that contained "nothing." However, Miranda later notes that she "kinda caught a little vibe" between Carrie and her neighbor, leading Carrie to say, "It's complicated with Aidan, but I'm trying to figure it out." HBO While fans will have to remain patient to see if Carrie pursues someone aside from Aidan, Parker said in a May 2024Today with Hoda & Jennaappearance, that the new season "has a sort of soufflé quality to me this year." "It just feels really lovely," she smiled. "So there will be layers and complexities and complications as there always are — especially in Carrie's life."

Factbox-What to expect at Florida's new Epic Universe theme park

Factbox-What to expect at Florida's new Epic Universe theme park

By Dawn Chmielewski ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Orlando's first new theme park in more than a quarter-century, Epic Universe, is set to open on Thursday. The new Comcast-owned park doubles the footprint of the Universal Orlando Resort and creates themed worlds around some of the most successful movies and games in recent years, including Harry Potter, the Super Mario Bros, Mario and Luigi, and the "How to Train Your Dragon" films. Celestial Park, a verdant area with expansive gardens and waterways, is the point of entry to the four other themed worlds. It also boasts the speediest roller coasters in the Epic Universe, the Stardust Racers, dueling coasters that reach speeds of up to 62 miles per hour. One area, Dark Universe, re-animates Universal Pictures' classic movie monsters. Another is dedicated to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Ministry of Magic, the third themed area in Orlando inspired by the Warner Bros films. Another portal opens to the Isle of Berk, inspired by the Viking world in the DreamWorks Animation trilogy, "How to Train Your Dragon." Super Nintendo World, a themed area that places guests inside the Super Mario and Donkey Kong games, comes to Orlando, following successful openings in Japan and Hollywood. SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Epic Universe's Super Nintendo World attempts to capitalize on the enduring popularity of Nintendo's characters as the Japanese video game company launches its new Switch 2 game console. The park offers attractions that recreate some of Nintendo's most popular video games, including Mario Kart racing, with the aid of augmented-reality headgear, and a roller coaster shaped like a mine cart that careens through Donkey Kong Country. Guests can purchase wearable Power-up Bands that allow them to collect digital coins and stamps throughout the park in the real world, as they would in a game. ISLE OF BERK Thirty-one animatronic dragons make their home on the Isle of Berk, a faithful recreation of the "How to Train Your Dragon" setting, down to its sparkling lagoon and towering 40-foot-tall Viking statues. A family roller coaster, Hiccup's Wing Gliders, takes passengers on a brisk ride around the perimeter of the island, while Dragon Racer's Rally simulates the experience of dragon flight. Another attraction, Fyre Drill, places guests in Viking boats, where they blast targets with water guns. DARK UNIVERSE Universal, the film studio that popularized the monster movie genre, reaches into its film vault to offer theme park guests encounters with such characters as Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The fictional setting of Darkmore draws its ravaged look from classic films, such as a burning windmill depicted in the 1931 movie  "Frankenstein." The centerpiece of the Dark Universe is Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, a ride that takes guests through the underground catacombs of Frankenstein Manor, where an experiment goes wrong and riders come uncomfortably close to the animatronic creatures. Molly Murphy, president of Universal Creative, said the ride is both a nod to Universal's film heritage and builds on its popular Halloween Horror Nights. "It really modernizes the stories, brings all of our classic monsters to life in a way that is relevant today," she said. THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC The world recreates 1920s Paris, as seen in the Warner Bros "Fantastic Beasts" series, and the British Ministry of Magic, set in 1990s London. In the main attraction, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, riders board an elevator lift to witness the trial of Dolores Umbridge, but get swept up in her attempt to escape justice.
